Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Isaac Fox of Norwich, Connecticut, who, you state, received a pension, and the record of Daniel Johnson of Norwich, who was born in 1702, married in 1726, daughter, Jemima, born in 1730, also cited by you as a pensioner. You refer to a Daniel Johnson of Norwich, Connecticut, who married in 1761, who may have been the pensioner, or the Daniel Johnson who was Justice of the Peace in Connecticut in 1773-1775.
The record of Isaac Fox, a pensioner of New London County, Connecticut, is furnished you herewith. No other record has been found of an Isaac Fox of Connecticut.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of any of the Daniel Johnsons described above. If you find that you have mistaken the record of the Daniel Johnson in whom you are interested, another effort will be made to identify the record of the particular pensioner with that name who may have been the ancestor of your friend. The name of the county and state in which you found the pensioner recorded is essential.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILIER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Dear Sirs:-
only one I find that Isaac Fox , of Norwich, Conn., was a Pensioner of the War of the Revolution, and would greatly appreciate the name of his wife and of his children, if you can give same to me.
I also find that DANIEL JOHNSON was also a Pensioner, and that he was b. 7-18-1702, Norwich vital records, pg. 51; and that he married, 11-9-1726, Jemima Ormsby, page 123. They had a daughter Jemima Johnson, b. 1730, who married Benjamin Spicer. If his pension papers give the above names it would assist me in proving lineage for a friend. not ident
I note that there was a Daniel Johnson , Norwich, who mar. 1761, Elizabeth Wentworth, and perhaps that is the Daniel Johnson who received a pension.
I also found that Daniel Johnson was a Justice of the Peace, Public Records of Colony of Connecticut, 1772-75.
Any information that you may give me will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very truly,
Maudie E. Blodgett
